There are two ways to maximize the view of the user’s bookshelf window:  

• Expand (or collapse) it using the white arrow on the right-hand side 
• Users can manually extend the pane by clicking on its edge and dragging it upward with their mouse. This allows them to see more titles within the bookshelf. 

Decrease the browser font size by either: 

• Press and holding the CTRL key while pressing the minus (or subtract) key will decrease the font size each time the minus key is pressed. 
•  Or–if your mouse has a scroll wheel–press and hold the CTRL key while using the scroll wheel on your mouse. Scrolling down decreases the font size while scrolling up increases the font size. 
• Press and hold the CTRL key while pressing the zero key to return the font to the default size.
